Hey Nice collection of clams!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just make sure you have enough Nitrate in your system to feed all of them. The 9 inch Derasa will strip your tank of all accumulated Nitrate.
Keep an eye on them for fading in the Mantle's, this is caused by lack of Nitrate/ Nitrogen. The symbiotic algae in the clam's mantle use Nitrate/ Nitrogen as a fertilizer.
I keep a good supply of reef fish and use a wet/dry in conjunction with a DSB(deep sand bed) to keep a constant supply of Nitrate at low levels. If you get a chance read the book Giant Clams by Daniel Knop, it goes through all the requirements that clams need.
Very nice clams!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
